Despite the pictorial evidence, Swain was 16 at the time of filming, tha same age as Sue Lyons was in the earlier film. Both were playing 14 year olds, not exactly true to the 12 year old character in the book but understandable from a censorship point of view.

character was 12 as written....A 40ish man and a twelve yo girl is VERY controversial....Personally, I would find it difficult to imagine a 12yo girl that is sexually foward in nature...14-15 is certainly more understandable... In posting the pic, I only wanted to show the contrast between Lyon (who I thought appeared older) and Swain who pulled off younger perhaps simply because she was less developed physically....
